Re: Whattsa Who'sa Bodhisattva? - Samantabhadra

In the words of Shokai: ( speaking of every drop and atom in the ocean )
Over the years I have had a vivid recall of a scene in which I am sitting in the bathtub gazing at a can of Sani Flush standing beside the toilet in the bathroom of a house we lived in seventy years ago. If you can remember, the very colorful label on the Sani Flush can depicted a picture of a lady holding a can of Sani Flush, pouring it into a toilet. On that can was a very colorful picture of a lady holding a can of Sani Flush, pouring it into a toilet on which can was a very colorful picture of a lady holding a can of Sani Flush, pouring it into a toilet, on which can was a very colorful picture of a lady holding a can of Sani Flush, pouring it into a toilet, etc. on ad infinitum. The imagination of that little boy reverberates within my being much the same as helping to conjure the fractal like image that JRBrisson speaks of. And I ask, is this the inherent Buddha Nature in this four year old boy that we are all hoping to find in each of our existences.

Thank you Jundo-oso

Not to get too maudlin over this but, the lady in this picture is wearing a dress very much the same as I recall my mother wearing on several occasions. It's too bad the reproduction of this is not better because in reality you could see at least four or five of the rotating images similar to looking at two mirrors such as Jundo-oso describes.http://www3.sympatico.ca/rjmaxwell/saniflush.jpg

So simple yet so profound! Hi Shokai. I really enjoyed the parallel of this teaching to an actual occurrence in your life. Thank you for sharing. It was a pleasure to read.
